"Anakin wasn't portrayed as a proud Jedi who was a quick rising star in the order - he was shown as a bratty little boy who never grew up."

I agree, that's a good way of putting it. I think there's a big gap between Anakin Skywalker at the end of Episode 3 and Darth Vader in Episode 4. They don't click, like there's a "missing link."

On a positive note, I found it cool as hell that they got James Earl Jones to be DV's voice again, if only just for a few lines

May the force be with us!

I'm such a dork.
